Virgil - the problem doesn't seem to be limited to the M1330 anymore. There are parts shortages ranging from the casing to the display to batteries and the list goes on and on. It also ranges across laptop manufacturers - unfortunately, your best bet at this point is probably to stick to a certain order and just wait it out.

I cancelled my XPS order because I couldn’t wait a month and ordered an Inspiron they said would ship in a few days. Got notified today of the THIRD delay in shipping for that one. Will probably cancel and just get another brand.

They are not shipping anything. I ordered on June 28. As of July 27 no ship. I am now cancelling my order. I got a macbook pro with vista on it.

I did hear about some issues with the Bluetooth module, but why would that affect orders like mine, which did not include said Bluetooth add-on?

I’ve heard that the delays are due to anything from the LED display to the webcam to the 9 cell battery to the system chassis to the Bluetooth to the new 800MHz FSB processors. I definitely believe the LED display shortage, but who knows whether the rest is true or random fluff CSRs coming up with made up reasons for the long lead times.

Actually, one of the delay issues is with the Bluetooth EDR 2.0 integrated option and its compatibility with the Dell system as told to me by the Senior E-Order Sales Representative, Mohammed Sayeed Khan.
